I was just having some fun at work a couple of weeks ago, trying to put some positive and creative pressure on a co-worker, so I created this fake center to compete with the center she is heading (the Advanced Centre for Enabling Disaster Risk Reduction [at the Tata-Dhan Academy where I work]). The result? [...]
Tagged CSS, Humor, silliness, WebsiteIt’s the end of an era, I guess. My trademark is no more. I’m serious. It’s gone. My built-in cat-toy… my man-leash…—whatever you want to call that strange braided patch of long hair that I have had for what? Fifteen years?—met its fate with a pair of scissors on Sunday, March 23, 2008.
Seeing that I [...]
There are times when India really makes me laugh….
… I mean, other than things like watching Bollywood videos where it seems like people are always going through weird mating rituals replete with bright costumes, head bobbing, and peculiar synchronized dancing….

Basically, [...]
The Path Towards Getting There From Here is a DWAB song off of the A Very Well-Calculated Lack of Cohesion CD. Amy took this photo of me while I was on the “Toy Train” to Ooty, and I thought that I would have some fun with my Photoshop plugins and make a silly video [...]
Part 1: “Aieee! Get the camera! Ewww…. What are they?!?”
This is the building that our flat is located in. We are on the second floor—or actually, by Indian terms, the first floor.

The P. James Magic Show.
From the first day I arrived in Chennai, there were a few things which stood out to me. I’ve already mentioned several of them—like the traffic and smells and pollution and so on—but I haven’t mentioned the P. James Magic Show.
My cousin, Zoe, came to visit just after Christmas, and one of the things she wanted to do was go to the zoo. I had just gotten my new digital camera, so I tried it out taking some videos too. Then I wanted to play around a bit with some of the effects that could [...]
